thence

Out of that

Thence means from that place or from that point in time or logic.

It is formal and somewhat archaic, appearing mainly in legal documents, historical texts, or deliberately elevated prose: He traveled to Paris and thence to Rome.

The word also indicates consequence: The crops failed, and thence came famine.

In modern speech, "from there" or "from that" typically replaces it.
